Why teams connect Asana and Scaleway Postgres

Mirror Asana's data into Scaleway Postgres so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Engineers integrate with tools like Asana through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in Scaleway Postgres.

Stacksync mirrors Projects, Sections, Custom fields, Stories from Asana into Materialized views, Schemas, Sequences, Columns in Scaleway Postgres and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into Asana, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync Stories and completion changes from Asana into a database so downstream dashboards and tools react to project progress in near real time.
  • 02 Two-way sync of Tasks and their Custom fields between an Asana project and Postgres so ops teams work in SQL while project owners stay in Asana.
  • 03 Keep an EU-hosted Postgres as the system of record while distributing data to US-hosted SaaS applications
  • 04 Sync production tables from Scaleway Postgres into a CRM so sales and support see live product usage on customer records

Common sync patterns

Automate Asana from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in Scaleway Postgres and Stacksync propagates the change into Asana, replacing custom integration code.

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Asana arrive as row changes in Scaleway Postgres, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

One integration pattern for the whole stack

Every synced tool looks the same from the database, so each new integration is configuration, not a new codebase.

What you can sync between Asana and Scaleway Postgres

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Asana objects Scaleway Postgres objects How this pairing syncs
Tasks The primary unit of work and main record; created, updated, completed, and deleted via REST and synced two-way. Subtasks are Tasks with a parent reference. Schemas Namespace tables so multiple applications or environments can be synced selectively. Tasks is specific to Asana and Schemas to Scaleway Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Projects Collections of Tasks with a layout (list, board, timeline, calendar); each project maps to a synced table scope and its custom fields define the mapping. Sequences Generate primary keys; sync tooling must respect them when writing rows. Projects is specific to Asana and Sequences to Scaleway Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sections Ordered groupings of Tasks within a project; synced as a grouping attribute or category field on the row. Columns Postgres-native types, including JSONB and arrays, are mapped to fields in the paired system. Sections is specific to Asana and Columns to Scaleway Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Custom fields Typed fields (text, number, enum, multi-enum, date, people) defined at project or workspace level; mapped to database columns, with enum values written by option GID. Tables Primary sync unit; each table maps to an object or table on the other side of the sync. Custom fields is specific to Asana and Tables to Scaleway Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stories Comments and activity entries on a Task; read out for history and reporting or written back as comments. Views Read-only sources for shaping data before it leaves the database. Stories is specific to Asana and Views to Scaleway Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users Members of a workspace or organization referenced by assignee and follower fields; read to resolve GIDs to names and emails. Materialized views Precomputed result sets that can be read on a schedule for downstream syncs. Users is specific to Asana and Materialized views to Scaleway Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Asana and Scaleway Postgres

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Asana Scaleway Postgres Sub-second propagation

DetectionAsana notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Resource-scoped webhooks (established with an X-Hook-Secret handshake) POST events on create, change, and delete.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Scaleway Postgres as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Scaleway Postgres Asana Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Scaleway Postgres are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC via PostgreSQL logical replication where the managed instance permits it.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Asana through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Asana: Per token: 1,500 requests/minute on paid plans, 150/minute on free; the Search API is capped at 60/minute; concurrency caps at 50 GET and 15 write requests. Exceeding a limit returns HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header, and a separate cost-based limiter applies to complex graph traversals.
  • Scaleway Postgres: Throughput is bounded by instance size and connection limits rather than API quotas.
